Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love.

Grandmothers are just "antique" little girls.

Grandmothers are the people who take delight in hearing babies breathing into the telephone.

Grandparents and grandchildren are God's gift to each other.

Grandparents are a delightful blend of laughter,
caring deeds, wonderful stories and Love."

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have
around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their
grandchildren.

Grandparents are there to help the child get into mischief they haven't thought of yet.

I like to do nice things for my grandchildren - like buy them those toys I've always wanted to play with.

I loved their home. Everything smelled older, worn but safe; the food aroma had baked itself into the furniture.

I never thought I could fall in love again, until you were born.

I thought I had forgotten how to hold a baby--but my arms remember.

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for
self-defense.

I've found something that my grandchildren can wear out faster than their shoes - their grandma!!!!!!

I've learned that when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his fist, that you're hooked for life.

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it!

If I had known grandchildren were this much fun
I would have had them first.

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first.

If your baby is "beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time," you're the Grandma!

It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the
fullness of their grace.

It is remarkable how, overnight, a quiet mature lady can learn to sit cross-legged on the floor and play a tin drum, quack like a duck, sing all the verses of The Twelve Days Of Christmas, make paper flowers, draw pigs, and sew on the ears of severely-injured teddy bears.

It isn't hard to be good from time to time. What's tough is being good every day.

It's just magic, Grandpa. (When asked how he catches fish, and not Grandpa)

It's one of nature's way that we often feel closer
to distant generations than to the generation
immediately preceding us.

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother -
that's why the world calls her grandmother.

Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother.

Just when I thought I was too old to fall in love again, I became a Grandparent.

My grand kids believe I'm the oldest thing in the
world. And after two or three hours with them, I
believe it, too.

My Grandkids Are GENIUSES! (They think I'm perfect.)

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after
two or three hours with them, I believe it, too.

My Nana has ears that really listen,
arms that always hug & hold,
love that's never ever ending,
and a heart that's made of gold.

Never have children, only grandchildren.

Never have children, only grandchildren.

No cowboy was ever faster on the draw than a grandad pulling a baby picture out of a wallet.

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.

One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new
grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather.

Our children are here to stay, but our babies and toddlers and preschoolers are gone as fast as they can grow up - and we have only a short moment with each. When you see a grandfather take a baby in his arms, you see that the moment hasn't always been long enough.

Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without
rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our
entire lives has ever done, not our parents,
siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own
grown children.

Perfect love sometimes does not come until grandchildren are born.

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You
feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long
periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.

The best lesson we could learn from our grandparents is to cherish every moment we have with them.

The handwriting on the wall means the grandchildren found the crayons.

The hardest thing is to give your heart to someone when they're not yours to keep.

The joy of grandchildren is measured in the heart.

The laughter of a child is the light of a house

The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is
that they have a common enemy.

There is no greater love than that of grandson and his Mimi.

There's no place like home except Grandma's.

There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.

They say genes skip generations. Maybe that is why grandparents find their grandchildren so likeable.

Those gasps of astonishment, those shrieks of pleasure, those sighs of delight, lost long ago when your children grew wise and wordly ~ are suddenly given back to you by your grandchildren. What seems to be the same small hands clutch yours, dragging you from one excitement to another ~ "Look! Oh, look! come ON!"

Through my grandmother's eyes, I can see more clearly the way things used to be, the way things ought to be, and most important of all, the way things really are.

TO MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN:
~YOU'RE THE REASON I WAS BORN!!
LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER,
~MOM/GRAND-MA

To our children and grandchildren: You are the reason we were born.

Uncles and aunts, and cousins, are all very well, and fathers and mothers are not to be despised; but a grandmother, at holiday time, is worth them all.

We should all have one person who knows how to bless
us despite the evidence, Grandmother was that person
to me.

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my
loose change, and they give me a million dollars
worth of pleasure.

What children need most are the essentials that
grandparents provide in abundance. They give
unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor,
comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly,
cookies.

What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I'd like to say
that grandparents are God's gifts to children. And if they can
but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they
can mature at a fast rate.

When a child is born, so are grandmothers.

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.

Whenever I see you I have an uncontrollable urge to fling open my arms, excitedly shout your name and scoop you up.

Who are these kids? And how do they know my name?

You cannot catch a child's spirit by running after it. You must stand still and for love it will soon itself return.

You Put the Grand in Grandma (pa, parents)

You're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back. You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast. These are some good times, so take a good look around. You may not know it now, but you're gonna miss this.

You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.
